MICHAEL KORS and GRAFF Fashion Show Honors Heart Ball
01/25/2010 - By Palm Beach, FL
More than 225 guests gathered at The Mar-a-Lago Club on Jan. 23 for a high-energy, formal fashion show presented by MICHAEL KORS and GRAFF, preceded by a cocktail reception in honor of the 55th Annual Palm Beach Heart Ball.
The event was hosted by one of Palm Beach’s favorite philanthropists and gala’s honorary chairman, Patrick M. Park, who wanted to honor the 2010 chairmen, Melania Trump and Petra Levin.
“Tonight we celebrate philanthropy through the fun of fashion, all made possible by the generous support of our sponsors, MICHAEL KORS and GRAFF,” said Park.
The spectacular poolside runway show featured the MICHAEL KORS Spring 2010 collection, paired with GRAFF’s stunning, one-of-a-kind jewels, and a personal appearance by the ball’s Fashion Ambassador Mr. Michael Kors.
“My dear friend Melania brought the American Heart Association and its important mission to my attention. I couldn’t be happier to support her and Petra in the fight against heart disease and stroke,” said Kors. “I hope that our show entertained, while keeping the true purpose of supporting the Heart Association top-of-mind.”
Some of the notable guests included Patrick M. Park; Stephen A. and Petra Levin; Regis and Joy Philbin; Jim Clark and Kristy Hinze Clark; Wilbur and Hilary Ross; Bill and Nancy Rollnick; Elizabeth Bowden; Alexis and Veronica Mersentes; Terri Mersentes; Leo and Kathryn Vecellio; Bob and Arlette Gordon; Adam and Elisabeth Munder; Lawrence and Suzanne DeGeorge; Peter and Pam Dupuis; Simon and Norma Fireman; Howard and Michele Kessler; James and Donna Hearon; Alton and Sharon O’Neil; Clother and Joyce Vaughn; Hidegarde Mahoney; Alice and Ted Tarone; Angela Culveyhouse and Michael Vecellio; Judy Grubman; Tiffany and George Cloutier; Joel Pashcow; Connie Frankino; Mai Hallingby; Madeline Parker; Marietta Gullia; Romero Britto; Jeffrey Silver; Bob Wildrich; and George and Lisa Zimmerman.
The 55th Annual Palm Beach Heart Ball will be held at The Mar-a-Lago Club on Saturday, Feb. 13, 2010. The International Honorary Chairman for the 2010 event is Sir Elton John, and National Honorary Chairman is Donald J. Trump. Honorary Chairmen are Dame Celia Lipton Farris, Patrick M. Park and Nathalie Fernandez De LaValle; Legacy Chairman Anne Eisenhower; Luxury Chairman Henri Barguirdjian of GRAFF; and Fashion Ambassador Michael Kors. GRAFF and MICHAEL KORS are the Grand Benefactors of the 2010 event.
Donald Trump will also host to a benefit concert by Andrea Bocelli on Feb. 28 at The Mar-a-Lago Club. All proceeds from this stellar event will support the American Heart Association’s Palm Beach Division.
The storied Palm Beach Heart Ball holds a place in the national spotlight as the oldest Heart Ball in the nation, and the longest continuously held charity event in Palm Beach.
